a satisfactory stay

friendly staff fresh decor clever design expensive breakfast not fresh juice rip off

the staff were genuinely friendly each time we spoke. they also took a sincere interest in us. the decor was fresh and our room felt larger than it was through clever design.

the breakfast was a disappointment. for the price paid, it was like a complete rip off. the 'freshly squeezed orange juice' was not freshly squeezed.

excellent seaside stay

friendly staff fresh decor clever design

i found the staff genuinely friendly upon each interaction and they showed sincere interest. the decor was fresh and our room felt larger because of clever design. a dog bed and food bowls were available when we arrived with our dog, so that was great.

the lighting in the bathroom kept flickering, though it was not a huge issue.
